1 General Information

1.1 Document Purpose and Intended Users

The purpose of this document is to provide a step-by-step procedure to help experienced technicians or

engineers install and commission an in-building Passive Wireless Distributed Antenna System (DAS)

using Westell’s PS71090 2W Public Safety Signal Booster. Follow the instructions in this guide to

minimize risks associated with modifying a live system and preclude service interruptions. This

document assumes the technician or engineer understands the basic principles and functionality

involved with an RF Signal Booster and in-building wireless systems. This guide has been written to

address the practical concerns of the installer.

1.2 Application

Use this guide whenever there is a need to add enhanced signal capability to an existing system or

when a Signal Booster is included in a new installation.

1.2.1 Product Registration Information

1.3 Safety Guidelines

The general safety information in this guideline applies to both operations and service personnel.

Specific warnings and cautions are located in the applicable manual sections, but may not appear in

this summary. Failure to comply with these precautions or specific warnings elsewhere in the manual

violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of equipment. Westell assumes

no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements:

Grounding: This Signal Booster is designed to operate at 110VAC @ 1.0A maximum current and must

always be operated with the ground wire properly connected.

Explosive atmospheres: To avoid explosion or fire, do not operate this product in the presence of

flammable gases or fumes.

Lightning danger: Do not install or adjust this unit during an electrical storm.

No user-serviceable parts are inside the unit. Hazardous voltages are present when the cover is

removed. Opening the chassis will void your warranty. If you suspect a malfunction with this product,

1.3.1 Important Safety Information

Antennas used for the purpose of radiating signals indoors are limited to a maximum gain of 3 dBi.

Each antenna must be positioned to observe minimum separation requirements from all users and

bystanders.

The following guidelines must be used when considering separation distances:

•

Indoor antennas must be placed so that under normal conditions, personnel cannot come

within 20 cm (~8 in) of any inside antenna. Adhering to this minimum separation will ensure

that the employee or bystander cannot exceed RF exposures beyond the maximum

permissible limit as defined by FCC Regulations section 1.1310 Limits for general

population/uncontrolled exposure.

•

Outdoor antenna must be positioned so that under normal conditions, personnel cannot

approach closer than 120 cm (~4 ft.). A directional antenna having a maximum gain of 3.75

dBi is used, and precautions should be taken to prevent personnel from routinely passing

through the main radiation beam at a distance closer than specified.

1.4 FCC Part 90 Signal Boosters

2 Product Overview

2.1 Product Information

The PS71090 Signal Booster was developed for use in enclosed structures where signals from local

public safety towers to operate mobile units is poor or unavailable. Adequate signal strength must

be available outside the structure as a prerequisite to achieving in-building coverage. The device is

connected to an external antenna, normally located on a roof, and to one or more internal antennas

placed strategically throughout the area where wireless service is desired.

The external antenna is typically directional, such as a Yagi or Panel antenna. Internal antennas are

typically omnidirectional, although various other types may be used, depending on the coverage

application. The Signal Booster amplifies both the uplink (mobile to base) and downlink (base to

mobile) signals, thus facilitating communications to and from the intended wireless infrastructure.

With a maximum total of 90 dB nominal gain on both the uplink and downlink, gain can be adjusted

over a range from 60 dB to 90 dB in 1 dB steps.

The Signal Booster is controlled using a computer connected to the RJ45 Female Network Connector

labeled ‘GUI’. There are also LED indicators to indicate alarm status, OSC and power. Refer to Figure

4-1.

5 Installation Guidelines

5.1 Important Installation Guidelines

•

The PS71090 Signal Booster is designed for indoor use only.

•

The PS71090 Signal Booster must be installed in a vertical orientation (i.e. Connectors on the

bottom of the unit).

•

Inadequate isolation between the outside and inside antennas may cause regenerative

feedback in the system.

 This feedback can cause the amplifier to emit a continuous signal at maximum

Amplitude, and, in some cases, interfere with normal operation of the donor site.

Careful consideration of the layout and placement of the system is imperative to

minimize this possibility and to minimize the amount of signal leaking from the

Building.

•

Do not disassemble the Signal Booster.

DANGER!

•

Refer to the 1.3 Safety Guidelines section for proper antenna selection and

installation. To avoid serious injury, death and/or damage to the Signal

Booster, do not install donor or server antennas near overhead power lines or

high power components. Allow enough distance so that falling antennas

would not come in contact with those components.

•

Electric shock may occur if the Signal Booster is installed in close proximity to

water.

WARNING!

•

Amplifier or handset damage may occur if a handset is connected directly to

the Signal Booster or to the coax that leads to the Signal Booster.

•

The PS71090 Signal Booster must be connected to ground for protection.

•

We recommend that installers do not wear jewelry or metal accessories when

installing this Signal Booster.

•

Do not place cables or tools that may damage the Signal Booster in close

proximity to it.

•

Check the installation site for hazardous conditions such as water-covered

floors or badly worn or damaged cables prior to installation.

•

Lifespan and performance of the Signal Booster may be reduced if the unit is

operating outside its nominal temperature range.

PS71090-P8 Product Manual

October 2017, Rev A

WESTELL.COM

1.877.844.4274 Page 26 of 51

CAUTION

•

Close proximity to the donor or server antennas with the Signal

Booster in operation may expose users or installers to RF fields that

exceed FCC limits for human exposure.

•

Turn power to the Signal Booster off when connecting or disconnecting

cables.

5.2 Donor Antenna Installation Guidelines

•

Accurately determine the azimuth to the donor site. Obtain the donor site information and

approval from the service provider/carrier.

•

Ensure that the radiation path to the donor site is unobstructed.

•

Mount the donor antenna at or toward the edge of the roof, in the direction of the donor

site. Avoid having the RF signal from the donor pass above the location(s) of the service

antennas. Normally, the service antennas are installed behind and below the donor antenna,

as viewed from above. This approach helps avoid interference and feedback to and from the

service antennas.

•

Normally, mounting the donor antenna higher will allow a less obstructed path to the donor

site. However, in high traffic metro areas, avoid mounting the donor antenna higher than

necessary, as the quality of the donor signal may become less stable and it is more likely to

encounter adjacent channel interference.

•

When possible, shield the rear of a donor antenna by locating it so that any HVAC units

and/or penthouse structures are behind the antenna, relative to the donor cell site location.

5.3 Indoor Antenna Installation Guidelines

•

Use omnidirectional antennas (see section 2.4. Optional Accessories) indoors and locate

them centrally with respect to the intended coverage area to minimize signal leakage to the

outside. Only use directional antennas indoors in special cases when higher gain and

directionality would be helpful and RF exposure limits will not be exceeded.

•

To avoid Signal Booster uplink overload and gain limiting, mount the indoor antennas away

from areas where mobile subscribers frequently use their phones / radios, such as desks or

dispatch areas. Note: If the signal level from Antenna at the UL service port is >-12dBm,

Add external attenuation to avoid shutdown alarm

•

To determine the quantity and locations of indoor antennas, measure Received Signal

Strength Indication (RSSI) using DM Tool software to determine areas of weak signals. These

are the approximate areas where indoor antennas may be needed.

•

Be aware that the signal from an indoor antenna, in most cases, can be expected to

penetrate approximately two standard sheet rock walls to reach users. If the signal must

travel through more than two walls, or if the walls are made of materials other than sheet

rock, it may be necessary to split the available signal and add more antennas.

5.4 Mounting the Signal Booster

Follow the instructions in this section to mount the Signal Booster on a wall.

Figure 5-1: Signal Booster Mounting

1.

Using the PS71090 as a template, mark the four (4) locations for the wall

anchoring system screws.

2.

Move the PS71090 unit and drill the mounting holes at the marks in the wall.

Install a wall anchor in each of the four (4) drilled holes.

3.

Install the top two (2) screws into the anchors, leaving enough room to slide the

screws into the oblong holes of the top of the unit’s mounting positions.

4.

Once the Unit is hung on the top two (2) screws finish fastening the top screws.

5.

Install the bottom two (2) screws into the anchors, fastening the Unit to the wall.

1.877.844.4274 Page 28 of 51

5.5 Verifying the Physical System Setup

•

Check all cables for shorts and opens. Verify that there are no cables with loose or poor

connections. RF leakage could cause oscillation to occur under some conditions.

•

If the rooftop antenna (donor antenna) is directional, check it for proper alignment along

the calculated compass heading. Typically, the directional antenna would be aimed at the

same site that your handset uses, but that may not always be the case.

•

If cables and alignment are acceptable, and a problem persists, use a spectrum analyzer to

examine the signal environment in which the unit is operating. The existence of strong

adjacent channel signals within the frequency band(s) can cause the AGC to reduce the

amplifier’s gain or cause alarms. In some cases, additional filtering or attenuation may be

required to reject these unwanted signals. In some instances, the donor antenna can be

reoriented horizontally to place the interference source in an antenna pattern null.

5.6 Controlling the Signal Booster

Control and monitoring the Signal Booster requires that a properly configured computer with Westell

PS71090 control software installed is connected via an Ethernet cable, such as the one shown in

Figure 5-2A. Connect the Ethernet cable from the Network Interface port of a computer to the GUI

port on the bottom end panel of the Signal Booster.
